Oil Pump Lube

Nah !!! Ive never heard of it ? Not too say it's not so ? But Jelly ?? No  Break in lube I use come's out in the first oil change you can see it mixed in the oil with the cam lube !
If I had to guess here ?? I would say it's Cosmoline ?? or an additive some one added to the motor !! Water can cause this ?? Turn's white with water ! Probably 19.95 Engine Rebuild in a bottle ??
  Wouldnt want jelly too take off thru an oil port ! Drop releif valves ! turn car over neer , neer , neer goood bunch of time's , with the clean pump re installed .
  Who want's a Puppy I gott Puppy's ! 7 of them !
  Blue Rott'N'Pitt's Pupp's ?? LMAO
   Non stop Dramma around here ?????

Hiya Burr,

The problem is actually a two pointed question..............

1.  Has anybody heard of packing an oil pump with petroleum jelly?
and if not...............
2.  Does anybody know of an assembly lube that looks like petroleum jelly?

I pulled the pump on this engine because it came to me set up for use in an AutoStick.  Because it has a universal case, I decided instead to use it in my Bus so I had to change the out oil pump and flexplate.

Hiya Sean,

This stuff is definitely not white.  It is clear like petroleum jelly.  Nothing cheap or anything overlooked in the construction of this engine. 

And by the way Sean, you'd like this............It's a 1600 Single Port and the heads were hemi cut.

Hiya Clancy,

You know, after I posted and I thought about it a bit, I did seem to recall that business about packing the pump with grease.  But, of course, the problem for me is that this stuff, whatever it is, is definitely not grease.

Well I dunno much , but I know this ! No spotey in my Engine's Man ! Ok ! Cant go there with the Vaseline Crew !! Ok ! LMAO
  White grease ?? Nope ! No white grease crew , gonna grease me !! LMAO
  Seriously tho your talkin about Lubri Plate ! Think that's what your refering to as white grease !
  It disolves just like break in grease , comes out in a silver white swirl in the Engine oil .
  Bottom line if you got chitt like that in your Engine !! It will plug oil port's and oil cooler's !
  One way to check see how extensive this Cookie Lubricant is distributed thru out the motor is to pull the Oil Cooler and look in the bottom of it ! Could be if you used the old cooler that this was left over from a previous engine ???
  Pull oil screen !! See if it's there !
  Now Cosmoline ?? Im trying to think here !! But you done creeped me out with the Spotey thing in the Engine ??? LMAO
   Cosmoline is what they coat part's with too keep them from rusting ! Seem's like Ive seen a Engine tore down before that someone had assembled with the Cosmoline not washed off ??
  I just cant remember it this mornin ?? But somethin is tellin me that it mixe's with oil it become's clear jelly like !
  Was deisel used in a part's washer << Definately get jelly like in consistency !! In fact that's what Im thinkin ?? Used Deisel to rinse the Oil Cooler and didnt give it a good rinseing ??? Look in the bottom of the Oil cooler !!

I once bought a newly rebuilt waterboxer (which uses the same pump) to use while I rebuilt the original, and had a terrible time getting the pump to prime. (Maybe this was because cheap pumps have too much clearance.)
Anyway, that convinced me packing with grease may be a good idea...

...looks like the stuff I used to use to slick down my hair back in the 50's.....when I had hair.....<sigh>....

C.

Ok ! But petroleum Jelly ?? As for Hair Im regular Hair God !! My Uncle would crack me Up Roll up in a my Old 66 Shelby when I was talkin to Chick's !
  Runn his finger's over his bald head like he had Hair ! Go yupp I use to be a Hair God !! Then light um up !!
  These one Girl's were Like Do you Know that Guy ! I be Like nope Sure Dont !! LMAO
